Description
Village Farm is a house that likely dates from the 17th century. It is constructed of coursed stone with a pantiled front roof and a Welsh slate roof at the rear, featuring a double span design. The building has two storeys and two wide bays, with a central 20th-century door set in a plain surround. The ground floor windows are late 19th-century sashes in early 19th-century openings, complete with projecting sills and tooled and margined ashlar lintels. The small first-floor windows are also late 19th-century sashes in their original openings. There is a blocked doorway under a relieving arch on the left side of the house. The rear span was raised to two storeys from an older outshut in the early 19th century. The steeply pitched gabled front span has two 19th-century brick end stacks, while the rear span features a brick lateral stack. The house was probably of bastle type but has thinner walls and is a later example.
